Jsyk, I have heard from librarian friends that, depending on where you live, a lot of the job can end up being telling creeps to pull their pants up and gtfo 😞
This was mostly my impression as an Interned worker. Most of our “checkouts” were ILLs (inter-library loans) from universities, so there wasn’t even much opportunity to talk about books with people
I’m envious of every librarian I meet. Books and helping people??! Sign me the eff up, friendo!

I can vouch for that! Never been a librarian though.
